Paradoxical effects of parathyroidectomy and sodium thiosulfate in a hemodialysis patient with calciphylaxis: a case report of persistent metastatic calcification.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Calcific uraemic arteriolopathy (CUA) is a rare and life-threatening condition characterized by vascular calcification, commonly observed in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). CUA is associated with a high 1-year mortality rate, ranging from 45 to 80%. Despite existing therapeutic options, managing CUA remains challenging with limited outcomes. This case report discusses a patient with ESKD undergoing long-term hemodialysis, who developed progressive CUA despite undergoing parathyroidectomy (PTX). Although sodium thiosulfate (STS) treatment promoted significant healing of skin ulcers, it had limited effects on tumoral calcinosis. This paradoxical clinical outcome highlights the complexity of managing CUA and underscores the need for a multimodal intervention strategy.
